Listen now
Description
Voting in Russia's presidential election has already begun and continues through this weekend. What will another six years of Putin in power mean for the world? Then, exacerbated by Israel restricting the flow of aid, the Gaza Strip is on the brink of famine. Will the Netanyahu government shift course following intense international pressure, including the EU Foreign Policy Chief saying starvation is being used as a weapon of war? Plus, Haiti’s crisis escalates as gangs have seized control of its capital Port-au-Prince and the government is on the verge of collapse. Yasmeen Abutaleb, Ravi Agrawal, and Giles Whittell join the Council’s Ivo Daalder to unpack this week's top global news.
